Ukraine Carries Out Longest Drone Strike Yet! 2,000 Kilometers on Usinsk, Komi Oil Depot
Video Summary
Ukraine has recently carried out its longest-range drone strike to date, targeting a Transneft oil refinery in the Usinsk region of Russia. The strike, which appears to have showcased Ukraine’s ability to strike farther away from its borders, is a significant development in the ongoing conflict. The refinery, located over 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was struck by drones, which flew an estimated 2,000 kilometers through Ukraine and around cities and other obstacles before reaching their target.
This strike marks a significant improvement in Ukraine’s military capabilities, as it has previously only been able to reach targets up to 1,800 kilometers away. The successful strike has left many questioning Russia’s ability to protect its oil infrastructure, with Ukraine’s ability to target even smaller facilities having a significant impact on Russia’s economy. The development has also raised concerns about Russia’s own defense systems, with the country recently announcing plans to obtain S-400 anti-aircraft systems and radars from Iran. However, some have questioned the effectiveness of these systems in the face of Ukraine’s advanced drones.
